MY LIPS SHALL RHYME

For years to be added unto me, I do not proclaim
To acknowledge your deeds, I do proclaim
My tears you took and fertiled the soil
So, in vain no longer shall be my toil
For no adoration unnoticed, passed you
Even if I’ ve got no gold
Worship I’ ll still give unto you
For you are God
I can see your deeds splattered over the shores of time
And for that and for you, my lips shall rhyme

Like a dog, I shall wag my tail
Just to demonstrate my tale
In time of distress, I shall not stagger
Rather, like David I shall go gaga
For when I was down and out
You gave me reason to live again
So, like a child, I shall skip about
For your knowledge has become my gain
Even at the time of no dime
For that and for you, my lips shall rhyme

On your command, still the waters stayed
On the mention of your name, evil fled
By you, man was made
And by your power, the devil bled
Just like a child, your praise, my lips shall mumble
Like thunder, your praise, my lips shall rumble
Like a mad man, I shall speak in unknown tongues
Out of insanity, I shall blaster in unknown tongues
When I get dumbfounded, I shall mime
And for that and for you, my lips shall rhyme
